Definitions
- the present invention relates to a switch device, and in particular, to a switch device operated for driving a device.
- the portable device Normally, the portable device, held, for example, in a pocket of the user's clothing, mutually communicates with the vehicle by automatically transmitting an ID code signal to the vehicle.
- the engine of the vehicle is enabled to start by operating an ignition switch, when an ID code included in the ID code signal transmitted from the portable device matches an ID code preset for the vehicle.
- the portable device does not automatically transmit an ID code signal.
- the user places the portable device in a communicable area where the portable device can receive a transponder-driving radio wave transmitted from the vehicle.
- a transponder built into the portable device receives a transponder-driving radio wave from the vehicle to generate electric power, and transmits a transponder signal using the electric power. In this way, the portable device mutually communicates with the vehicle, using a transponder signal transmitted from its transponder.
- the engine of the vehicle is enabled to start by operating the ignition switch.
- a coil antenna for outputting a transponder-driving radio wave and the ignition switch are installed in the vicinity of the driver's seat in the vehicle.
- vehicle systems have been rapidly computerized and have become provided with more functions. This has increased the number of electric and electronic components used in vehicles. This has created a demand for reducing the space occupied by each component mounted in a vehicle.
- a switch device in which a coil antenna and an ignition switch with a push button are integrally arranged, has been proposed.
- a decorative member whose surface is furnished with decorative plating is provided to surround the outer rim of the push button. This improves the appearance quality of the passenger compartment. Further, the push button stands out.
- the coil antenna When, however, the coil antenna is arranged close to the decorative member, a transponder-driving radio wave output from the coil antenna is easily blocked by the decorative plating on the surface of the decorative member. This makes it difficult to form a communicable area where the vehicle is communicable with the portable device using a transponder-driving radio wave. Thus, the coil antenna fails to fully exhibit its communication function.
- the present invention provides a more compact decorated switch device that ensures formation of the communicable area.
- the present invention provides a switch device for use by an operator and connection to an actuator, for enabling the actuator to be driven when an ID code transmitted from a transponder of a portable device matches a predetermined ID code of a vehicle controller.
- the switch device includes an operation switch operated by the operator for driving the actuator.
- a decorative member is arranged to surround the operation switch.
- a communication means is arranged adjacent to the decorative member for transmitting a transponder-driving radio wave that causes the transponder to generate electromotive force used to transmit the ID code.
- the decorative member is separable from the communication means to ensure formation of a magnetic path for the transponder-driving radio wave near the operation switch.
- a further embodiment of the present invention is a switch device for use by an operator and connection to an actuator, for enabling the actuator to be driven when an ID code transmitted from a transponder of a portable device matches a predetermined ID code of a vehicle controller.
- the switch device includes an operation switch operated by the operator for driving the actuator.
- the operation switch includes an operation button and a case.
- a coil antenna is wound around the case for transmitting a transponder-driving radio wave that causes the transponder to generate electromotive force used to transmit the ID code.
- a decorative member is removably attached to the case to surround the operation button and the coil antenna.
- a detection switch detects that the decorative member has been removed from the case. The coil antenna transmits the transponder-driving radio wave based on the removal of the decorative member detected by the detection switch.
- an engine start/stop control system 1 includes a vehicle controller 10 that is mounted on a vehicle 2, and a portable device 20 that is separate from the vehicle 2.
- the portable device 20 is held by a user (owner) of the vehicle 2.

- the vehicle microcomputer 12 provides the transponder signal transceiver circuit 15 with a transponder-driving signal.
- the transponder signal transceiver circuit 15 converts the electric transponder-driving signal transmitted from the vehicle microcomputer 12 into a radio wave with a predetermined frequency to generate a transponder-driving radio wave.
- the transponder signal transceiver circuit 15 transmits the transponder-driving radio wave to a predetermined area in the passenger compartment via the coil antenna 17.
- the vehicle receiver circuit 14 receives an ID code signal from the portable device 20 via the receiver antenna 14a.
- the vehicle receiver circuit 14 demodulates the ID code signal received from the portable device 20 to a pulse signal to generate a receiver signal.
- the vehicle receiver circuit 14 transmits the receiver signal to the vehicle microcomputer 12.
- the transponder signal transceiver circuit 15 receives a transponder signal from the portable device 20 via the coil antenna 17.

- An ignition switch 30 installed in the passenger compartment is electrically connected to an input terminal of the vehicle microcomputer 12.
- An engine starter 18 (actuator) is electrically connected to an output terminal of the vehicle microcomputer 12. The engine starter 18 automatically starts the engine (actuated device) upon receipt of a start signal from the vehicle microcomputer 12.
- the vehicle microcomputer 12 compares an ID code prestored in its memory with an ID code included in an ID code signal received from the portable device 20 to determine whether the two ID codes match. When determining that the two ID codes match, the vehicle microcomputer 12 provides the engine starter 18 with a start signal or a stop signal in response to an ON signal or an OFF signal provided from the ignition switch 30. In this way, the vehicle microcomputer 12 validates the operation of the ignition switch 30.

- the vehicle microcomputer 12 When determining that the two ID codes do not match, the vehicle microcomputer 12 does not provide the engine starter 18 with a start signal or a stop signal even upon receipt of an ON signal or an OFF signal from the ignition switch 30. In this way, the vehicle microcomputer 12 invalidates the operation of the ignition switch 30.
- invalidation of the operation of the ignition switch 30 is intended to mean disabling the starting of the engine if stopped or disabling the stopping of the engine if running in the vehicle 2 even when the push button 31 of the ignition switch 30 is pressed.

In this way, the vehicle microcomputer 12 invalidates the operation of the ignition switch 30.
- the portable device 20 includes a portable device microcomputer 22.
- the portable device microcomputer 22 receives a request signal transmitted from the vehicle microcomputer 12 and determines whether the received request signal has been issued by the owner's vehicle 2. Only when determining that the request signal has been issued by the owner's vehicle 2, the portable device microcomputer 22 provides the vehicle controller 10 with an ID code signal by using a portable device transmitter circuit 23.

- the portable device receiver circuit 24 demodulates the request signal transmitted from the vehicle 2 to a pulse signal to generate a receiver signal and provides the portable device microcomputer 22 with the receiver signal.
- the portable device 20 includes a transponder 25.
- the transponder 25 is used in an emergency when a battery, which functions as a power source for the portable device microcomputer 22 is drained.

- the transponder signal includes a unique transponder code that enables the owner's vehicle 2 to be distinguished from other vehicles.
- the vehicle controller 10 generates a transponder-driving radio wave, which is an electromagnetic field.
- a coil included in the transponder 25 generates electromotive force. In this state, the transponder 25 uses the electromotive force of the coil to transmit a transponder signal including a transponder code.
- a receptacle 4 is formed in an instrument panel 3.
- the switch device 35 is inserted in the receptacle 4.
- the switch device 35 includes the ignition switch 30 (operation switch).
- the ignition switch 30 includes a push button 31 and a case 36.
- the ignition switch 30 is alternately switched on and off by pressing the push button 31.
- the push button 31 of the ignition switch 30 is arranged in a decorative surface 3a of the instrument panel 3.
- the coil antenna 17 (communication means) is wound around an end part (end part close to the push button 31) of the case 36 of the ignition switch 30.
- the coil antenna 17 outputs a transponder-driving radio wave, which causes the transponder 25 built in the portable device 20 to generate electromotive force.
- the coil antenna 17 and the ignition switch 30 are arranged so that an axis C1 of the coil antenna 17 and an axis C0 of the ignition switch 30 substantially coincide with each other. This arrangement enables a transponder-driving radio wave output from the coil antenna 17 to form a magnetic field centered on the axis C0 of the ignition switch 30 as indicated by broken lines in Fig. 3.
- a communicable area 8 spatially extends outside the ignition switch 30.
- a decorative cap 32 (decorative member) is attached to the end part of the case 36 of the ignition switch 30, to surround the outer circumference of the coil antenna 17.
- the push button 31 is arranged adjacent to the decorative cap 32.
- the decorative cap 32 is made from a synthetic resin material.

- the groove 32b guides the push button 31 when the push button 31 is pressed.
- the decorative cap 32 has an ornamental surface (outer end surface) 32a, which is exposed.
- the ornamental surface 32a is furnished with decorative plating 40 having a metallic luster.
- the decorative plating 40 is formed, for example, by pretreating a surface of a base material for the decorative cap 32 to form a foundation layer on the surface, and then furnishing the foundation layer with chromium plating or black chromium plating.
- the decorative plating 40 on the decorative cap 32 improves the appearance of the passenger compartment, and enables the push button 31 of the ignition switch 30 to be easily visible to the user in the driver's seat.
- Parts of the decorative cap 32 not furnished with the decorative plating 40 i.e., the remaining parts of the decorative cap 32 excluding the ornamental surface 32a furnished with the decorative plating 40, are formed as transmittable areas 42 that can transmit a transponder-driving radio wave output from the coil antenna 17. Without containing metals, such as chromium, which would cause interference with radio waves, the transmittable areas 42 cause almost no interference with radio waves.
- parts of the decorative cap 32 corresponding to the outer side and the inner side of the coil antenna 17 (hatched parts in Fig. 3) have much influence on the strength of a transponder-driving radio wave output from the coil antenna 17. These parts of the decorative cap 32 are included in the transmittable areas 42. This structure ensures formation of a magnetic path for a transponder-driving radio wave output from the coil antenna 17, and ensures formation of a relatively wide communicable area 8 formed in front of the push button 31.
- the portable device microcomputer 22 transmits an ID code signal to the vehicle 2 in response to a request signal transmitted from the vehicle controller 10.
- the vehicle microcomputer 12 compares an ID code included in the received ID code signal with a preset ID code.

- the vehicle microcomputer 12 provides the engine starter 18 with a stop signal.
- the engine starter 18 stops the running engine of the vehicle 2.
- the portable device 20 fails to automatically transmit an ID code signal when the voltage of its battery is too low. If this happens, the owner places the portable device 20 against the push button 31 of the ignition switch 30.
- the transponder 25 in the portable device 20 is located within the communicable area 8 where a transponder-driving radio wave is being output from the coil antenna 17.

- the user can switch the output signal of the vehicle controller 10 from a request signal to a transponder-driving signal.
- the user is required only to perform a simple operation of pressing the decorative cap 32, to enable the coil antenna 17 to exhibit its communication function, and also to accurately know the timing at which a transponder-driving radio wave is output.
- the decorative cap 32 may be attached to the end part of the case 36 of the ignition switch 30 in a manner that it is rotatable.
- part of the decorative cap 32 which extends from its outer end surface in the direction of the axis of the decorative cap 32, is formed as the transmittable area 42.
- the remaining part of the decorative cap 32 excluding the transmittable area 42 is furnished with the decorative plating 40.
- the bar antenna 48 is arranged in the vicinity of the side wall of the case 36 of the ignition switch 30, i.e., at the position deviating from the axis C0 of the ignition switch 30.
- the transmittable area 42 is not at a position corresponding to the bar antenna 48.
- the user may move the transmittable area 42 to a position corresponding to the bar antenna 48 by turning the decorative cap 32 from the position shown in Fig. 9A to the position shown in Fig. 9B.
- the transmittable area 42 of the decorative cap 32 is moved to a position where the decorative plating 40 does not easily block a transponder-driving radio wave output from the bar antenna 48, i.e., to a position where the decorative plating 40 does not cause interference with radio waves.
- This structure ensures formation of a magnetic path for a transponder-driving radio wave output from the bar antenna 48 by turning the decorative cap 32.
- the switch device 35 may further include a detection switch 52, which is switched on and provides the vehicle controller 10 with a detection signal when the decorative cap 32 is turned to a predetermined position.
- the vehicle controller 10 may switch its output signal from a request signal to a transponder-driving signal in response to the detection signal. The user is required only to perform the simple operation of turning the decorative cap 32, to enable the bar antenna 48 to exhibit its communication function, and also to accurately know the timing at which a transponder-driving radio wave is output.
